I think it's not _quite_ that, but have you heard of grayjay? Grayjay.app, and it seems to have at least something along that line, though I don't know how many different services they support, at this point.

As you noted, I could log on and watch nothing but videos about cars, computers, and from channels I was subscribed to. The next time I would log on or open the ap, at least 7 of the first 10 videos suggested would have something to do with US politics.

And that's so _awful_, too, because generally I want my political content be when I seek it out, not something that seeks me out, with the intent of enraging me so that I remain engaged with the site.

Which is what is generally so much more pleasant, here. Enraging political content not allowed, and we're all a bunch of hobbyists who aren't going to be making money on this. The incentives are better aligned.

Agree about all you mentioned - as stated, for me its other topics
but... I don't like these changes and its not working [well] for me.

I am also not a fan. As you pointed out, subscribed content gets missed.

I don't follow these things, but as far as I know, they support all the services than matter, and then they have a plugin system so you can add more if you feel like it.

At its core it was born as an anti-censorship tool, because it is designed for you to follow a guy over all the platforms he is active in, so if they ban him from one, you will be able to hear from him using the same application.

I think there is more alternatives to YT that deserve more attention.
Anybody fancy LIBRE and its web frontend Odysee.com?

I publish there my demos (video recordings) and occasionally search for some content there. Hard to chase subscriptions as a content creator, but from a consumer perspective it's really nice, ad free platform where i don't need some hacking to actually download an offline version of the clip!
